Program details

Explore the city of Marseille and enjoy the fantastic view from an open top double-decker bus. With a pass valid for one or two consecutive days you can hop on and hop off this bus as often as you like at any of the ine stops on the tour route. Stops include Marseille’s main attractions such as Vieux Port, Fort Saint Nicolas, Notre Dame de la Garde and Parc Borely among others. This is a great opportunity to see Marseille at your own pace, covering as much or as little of the city you choose.

Staying on the bus to complete the entire route only takes 90 minutes and then you can easily hop on the next bus and stop at places of interest to you. Make a stop at Vieux Port where there is a daily fish market to discover in addition to the many restaurants and fisherman’s stalls. Driving along the Corniche you can see the beautiful azure waters of the Mediterranean which may tempt you to hop off the bus and spend some time on the beach.

Continue on to the Notre Dame de la Garde, the ornate church with Neo-Byzantine architecture, perched on the highest point of the city. Place aux Huiles offers quality restaurants serving traditional Provencal cuisine or the pretty fishing port, Vallon des Auffes may catch your eye with its picture postcard small, brightly coloured boats and picturesque narrow streets.
